Friends

 
I will stand by you, 
You don’t have to stand alone, 
I will lean on you, 
Supporting we will see it through, 
Sometimes things go wrong even though we do no wrong, 
I will talk to you, 
You can talk to me, 
Together we will see it through, 
So lean on me and I will try to be strong, 
I will support you so you want fall, 
I will smile to make you happy and tell you it will be alright, 
Hopefully you will then sleep through the night, 
Together we will try to ease the pain so that we can survive, 
To see a new start to a day, 
A day with a little less sorrow, 
Perhaps that day will be tomorrow. 

Words

Words 
 
If I could find the words to say, 
To brighten up someone else’s day, 
To bring a smile or a cheeky grin, 
To send the blues away, 
I would speak these words every day, 
To shelter those in the pouring rain until the sun would return again, 
To ease a burden in the darkest hour
The words would come from above, 
In whom I have learned to trust, 
I would speak them freely, 
To release them from the burden, 
Those with a troubled heart, 
To bring light to those lost in the dark. 

Rising

Rising 


Orange globe ascending slowly, 
Morning has broken to a day we don’t know, 
From the East the dawn starts to show, 
Warming rays gradually shine, 
As the morning starts to grow, 
Showing shadows grace the land, 
Stirring beasts from their sleep, 
Rising higher in the sky, 
To its common spot, 
Gracing land with golden rays, 
That’s what makes summer days, 
On its trajectory course, 
Travelling on its route, 
Cotton wool clouds drift in front, 
Guided by a breeze,  
Fuelled by vapours as we know, 
Fed by the seas, 
Descending slow in the West, 
Gradually changing places, 
Temperature change as rays retreat, 
Shadows reduce in length, 
The day now becomes night, 
Lit by a lunar light.  
 

The Act



Like an actor on the stage, 
I play my part, 
Performing on a daily basis, 
Entertaining the crowds who relish in my fall, 
Laughing at my performance, 
To hide my pain, 
The play unfolds the actors play their part, 
The play goes on, 
Until the final act. 
 
 

The Show



Another day,  
Another way, 
To play my part on this stage that has been chosen, 
Although my heart is broken, 
The strength to carry on, 
To smile and grin to speak the words as chosen, 
To disguise the pain, 
I must remain strong, 
Even though I feel like choking with all this heart felt emotion, 
Viewed by many like a soap on the telly, 
My character plays his part, 
To be hated or to be loved, 
Criticized or praised, 
The role is played day after day,

Fact

Fact


Can’t change a thing, 
It’s been and gone, 
Move on, 
Yesterday’s gone, 
Somehow life goes on. 
As I start again.

Surviving the Day

Surviving the Day 






















Another day over, 
Not too bad, 
Survived the day without being sad, 
Listened to a song on the radio, 
It helped me to mellow, 
As I deal with this peril, 
Other days will follow, 
Hopefully a better day tomorrow, 
To leave yesterday’s pain in the pouring rain, 
The days are better when the sun comes out, 
When the birds are singing
Kids are playing, Joy is about, 
Learning to laugh and joke, 
To let happiness show, 
A smile to show,
To those that know, 
How sad it has been leaving the past.  
 
 

Past

Past 


I listen to the music of yesterday
Lyrics that mean so much to me, 
Take me back to my past, 
Where I could just have fun and laugh, 
Memories of good times I had, 
Where I had no worries at all, 
I stood proud and tall, 
Friendships forged, 
I sing along with songs to heal my pain, 
Remembering the days when it was fun to be young, 
Dancing with Angels in the pouring rain, 
Helping me to heal pain, 
As I start over again putting the pieces together, 
A broken heart torn apart, 
Oh those lyrics of the past. 

 

Rhythm of Defeat

Rhythm of Defeat 


Dance to rhythm, 
Feel your heart beat, 
Let the music guide your feet, 
Before you know the rain will go, 
The sun will then warm your soul. 

Control

Control 
 

Silent times, 
Contained words, 
Body language to those who know, 
What I am going through, 
As I think things through, 
Deciding what I will do. 
 
 

Today

Today 
 

Those lyrics of that song again, 
I don’t see those rays, 
To brighten up my day, 
In the rain I am lost, 
Suffering in the pain, 
Yearning for a new day,  
To start over again. 
 
 

Light

Light 
 

Guiding light shining bright will help you on your way, 
In the darkest places in can brighten your saddest day, 
In the dead of the night it will shine bright, 
No need to be afraid, 
Your guiding light is here to stay, 
Trust in faith is all you need and the light will guide your way, 
A beacon that you can depend on should you lose your way. 
 
 
 
 


Extinguished

Extinguished 


What has been has gone, 
Cannot change a thing, 
The light has faded, 
Flame extinguished, 
Love extinct, 
Heart broken, 
In sorrow, 
Praying to survive tomorrow, 
Trust betrayed, 
Praying to survive the day, 
There has to be a way, 
Faith above is in what you must trust to guide you on your way, 
A guiding light, 
In the darkest night, 
Will help you not to stray, 
Don’t give in, 
Start to begin, 
Rebuild again, 
It will come right in the end.

The Act

The Actor 


Like an actor on the stage
I play my part, 
The clown
Performing on a daily basis, 
Entertaining the crowds who relish in my fall, 
Laughing at my performance, 
Fake smile shown, 
To hide my pain, 
The stage has been set, 
The play unfolds the actors play their part, 
The play goes on, 
Until the final act

The Sun Days

 

The sun comes up, 
The sun goes down, 
No problem does it face, 
Looking down upon the world, 
Caressing it with its grace, 
A gentle glow a warm embrace, 
The warmth delivered from its golden rays, 
Waking in the East, 
Sleeping in the West, 
Daily it blesses us with its grace, 
Glowing way up high in the sky, 
Radiant beams shining down on a daily basis, 
Sometimes hidden from view, 
Desperate to break through, 
Warm and bright, 
It’s a delight, 
Its beams caress faces, 
For no problem does it know, 
Rising continually on its cycle, 
Heated rays on sunny days put smiles on many faces, 
Glowing bright it is a sight so eagerly awaited, 
For way up high in the sky in its rightful place, 
Glowing bright before the night when it exchanges places. 
 

 

The Line

The Line 


Walking the line, 
Memories to remind me of days gone by, 
Alone I walk with my thoughts hoping to clear my mind, 
Along the beach with sand at my feet, 
Waves crashing in as they breach, 
On the golden beach
Boats floating in the harbour, 
Overlooked by the Inn
A place watch the sun go in, 
To a favourite seat overlooking the beach beneath, 
Where the young love to play in the park on a sunny day, 
The steam train goes by with a puff of smoke,  
Waved on by many as it goes, 
Over hills far away, 
Up and down the hills to another place, 
On this line walked my many, 
The smell of sea salt air is plenty, 
It helps to make you feel at ease, 
In the gentle breeze, 
The sounds of gull’s are with you all the way, 
Seals pop up to say hello, 
Curious they are as we know. 
 
 

Dreaming

Dreaming  


Dare I dream? 
Could it become reality? 
Dark of the night thinking that steals me from my sleep, 
Thinking of all the things deep within my mind, 
Churning over and over, 
Will they ever end? 
Will it always be like this? 
Can it ever end? 
Am I to be tortured until the bitter end? 
 
 

Tear Stained Scars

 

Tear stained scars portray my past, 
Lessons learnt from a failed romance, 
Fluttering beats from the defeat, 
Rejection flowing within these veins, 
As walls start to build, 
A fortress to protect myself, 
To ease my pain, 
Long periods in the dark, 
Left in a place called yesterday, 
To live my remaining days another way, 
Looking to the sky, 
Soaring high, 
In a breeze, 
A way to feel free, 
Dreaming of what could be, 
If I could have faith and believe, 
To believe in me. 
 
 

Awakening



It is not a dream, 
It is reality, 
As I open my mind to what I see, 
Viewed with clear clarity, 
For this is real, 
Real to me, 
The vision that I see, 
The emotions felt, 
From what I see, 
Oh how it affected me, 
Mentally, 
Not in control of the cards that have been dealt
Life can change instantly, 
This is what happened to me, 
Starting again after the lessons learnt
Rising to my feet, 
After my defeat, 
Ready to start again, 
No longer am I weak. 
 
 

Path of Life

 

Path of life, 
Lead me to my destiny, 
Detour around the ugly parts and places where no human should go, 
Lead to places where memories are made, 
To show kindness and love freely, 
Lead me on the path where I can live my life in full, 
 
 


The Walk on Paths

The Walk on Paths 
 

Walk on paths on the land, 
Over grass, 
Over sand, 
Walking every day to pass the time away, 
Watching and listening on the way, 
Other people out and about, 
A little pause here, 
A little pause there, 
Try and figure things out, 
Everyone’s different in an individual way, 
Young and old, 
Different characters expressing themselves in their own way,  
Life goes on every day, 
All walking on paths on the land, 
Living that way to life’s great plan. 
 
 

The Key

The Key  
 
The key to my mind is my heart, 
Lost in the labyrinth in the dark, 
Searching for a guiding light to assist me to escape, 
I don’t understand the mystery within, 
Not even a clue where to begin, 
Afraid to open my eyes to let you inside to analyse, 
To let you see my tortured soul, 
That’s a definite no, 
A shattered heart, 
So many parts, 
How to piece the jigsaw together again, 
Not knowing where to start, 
A private hell, 
An infernal within, 
A supernova about to explode, 
Emotional overload, 
Raging infernal, 
Flamed by anger, 
Of what has expired, 
Lava flowing through my veins, 
Feeding on the pain, 
In a familiar way, 
Day after day, 
Not knowing how to switch off, 
The love that has been lost, 
After bringing him to his knees, 
Deceiving him of the love he held, 
The one he loved who threw him into hell, 
No other way to ease the pain, 
Just learn how to dance in the rain, 
Learn a new rhythm and go with your feet, 
Follow your heart and go with the beat.  
 

Survival

Survival 


Standing on my feet, 
Surviving my defeat, 
Putting the pieces together, 
Missing the centre piece, 
Life is different as I look around, 
Breathing I am, As I stand, 
On my own, 
Grateful for each day I have, 
Time on my hands, 
No plans, 
My direction is forward from where I am, 
What will be will be, 
With hope and faith with me.  

Ashes

Ashes 
 
From the ashes of a burnt out zone
An ember a glow, 
Ignition of o sign of life, 
As a flame starts to show, 
Fuelled by oxygen as its true colour starts to warm, 
A flame bursts into life, 
Keen to remain, 
Flame came back to life from a traumatic past, 
Burning bright with a desire to remain a light, 
A warming glow to show it’s still alive, 
Keen to share it’s heat in order to socialise, 
Hoping that others will fuel its desire to survive, 
A flame to grow for all to see, 
A beacon to all lost souls to give them hope when times get cold, 
If they end up in the burnt out zone, 
It’s so cold in the burnt out zone, 
Walking around with your head hanging low, 
All alone, 
Cold in the burnt out zone, 
Searching for a sign,  
To ignite a spark, 
to create a flame. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Forgotten Image

Forgotten Image 

What about me, 
What has happened? 
Can’t you see? 
That inner voice yell’s out at me, 
Out of touch, 
Changed so much, 
Not the man I use to be, 
Don’t give in, 
Start a new, 
Believe in you, 
Together we will see it through, 
Create a new, 
Just be true, 
True to you, 
From the heart at the start, 
Imagine what could happen, 
Breathe and let it happen.

Jigsaw

 
Putting together the pieces of this broken man, 
A jigsaw I don’t understand, 
Not sure where each piece goes, 
Guess I will have to take it slow, 
A piece at a time, 
No picture to follow, 
Starting on the outer rim that is where I will begin, 
Piece by piece I will give it a go, 
To put this man together again, 
To make him whole. 

Nothing

Nothing  
 

I have come to realize I am nothing, 
Nothing is what I am, 
Understanding I am nothing, 
I have become something, 
Now I understand, 
So nothing is something, 
Something is who I am, 
I am something, 
I am has value, 
I am me, 
Now I see. 
 
 
 
 

Understanding

 

Taking a rain check on the lessons already given, 
Free to express what’s on my mind, 
In my own time, 
With my decisions, 
At present in a place I need to be, 
Place of understanding, 
Understanding me. 

Consultation

 

Can you help me find a way out of the labyrinth one day? 
To understand the mess I am in, 
Oh were do we begin, 
I will talk and you can listen, 
Still not sure this is the right decision. 
 
 

Friends Light

Friends Light 
 

I need my friends to show me a guiding light, 
Rescue me from this plight, 
To save me from ending the day, 
Show me a guiding light, 
Can you light the way? 
Bring me out of the darkness to live, 
To live again, 
Help me, 
Can you brighten up my day? 
Alone in my loneliness, 
I question why, 
The reason my heart is broke, 
When you said goodbye,  
Relationship in turmoil past the point of no return, 
Emotional melting point as untruths are told, 
Help me, 
Do you really care? 
Are you really there? 
Help me, 
Will you light the way? 
Help me, 
Can you brighten up my day? 
I have reached ignition point
Heart at breaking point, 
Now love has reached its goal, 
Fire is burning bright before the flame says good bye, 
The flame is dead, 
In my heart, 
The flame is dead, 
My flame is dead, 
Help me, 
Do you really care? 
Are you really there? 
Help me, 
Will you light the way? 
Help me, 
Can you brighten up my day? 
In the burnt out zone
Listening to sad songs
Reference to the past of what the lyrics meant, 
Lost in the wilderness of Hell’s vast plain, 
Searching for the gates to escape the pain, 
Choking on the ashes of long lost souls,  
Friends deserted them and left them to their plight, 
I need to escape to live again, 
Have to escape the burnt out zone, 
I need my friends to show me a guiding light, 
To rescue me from this plight, 
To save me from ending the day, 
Show me a guiding light, 
Can you light the way? 
Bring me out of the darkness to live, 
To live again, 
Show me, 
Show me the way, 
Can you show me the way? 
Show me a guiding light, 
Can you light the way? 
Bring me out of the darkness to live,  
Live again, 
I need my friends, 
I need my friends, 
Help me, 
Help me, 
Help me…… 
 

Limbo

 
The past is in the past, 
Cannot undo what’s been done, 
Letting go to become undone, 
Easier said than done, 
Sitting, Just starring, 
Not caring, 
What a lesson, 
Memories of yesterday fading, 
Time goes by distance pending, 
Wondering what is in store, 
Behind closed doors, 
Watching the clouds float by, 
Silently, 
Trying to decide,
What twist of fate I must face? 
As I sit and question why? 
 
 

Here and Now

Here and now 
 
Standing tall, 
All alone, Contemplating my fate
Which way to go, 
I don’t know, 
My minds not in the right place, 
Searching for a guiding light
A pointer for my way, 
Standing in this place for a while, 
Searching for a way, 
A mask I wear to hide my pain, 
Pretending I don’t care, 
But on my own, 
My eyes can’t lie as tears stream down my face, 
I must move on, 
Can’t bear it here in this horrible place, 
Where to go I don’t know, 
What’s the future hold for my tortured soul, 
Time will let me know. 
 
 

Night Time Blues

 

Sleeping is hard for me to do, 
Suffering from night time blues
For I keep dreaming of you, 
Your face is the vision I see day after day, 
You are in my head in so many different ways, 
Time is a healer so they say, 
As the clock hands move forward in their natural way, 
Living my life day by day, 
Yesterday has gone, 
Past along the way, 
Only memories remain of what once was, 
Haunted by words and things that have been said, 
No longer now do we share a bed, 
Photographs remind us of what we had and what has been thrown away, 
The good times,  
Bad times of the years gone past are lessons learnt on life’s great path
Day after day, 
Going forward is a starter, 
Slowly contemplating my way, 
Five steps back as I go along on my way, 
Rightly or wrongly I will learn how to move forward with life’s great plan

For you



I cannot find the words to speak,
Please do not think that I am weak,
For my strength comes from within to write the words with my pen,
To express my feelings that I cannot hide,
I wonder if my words you read, will make an impression on you,
Or even get a like,

C'est La Vie



So be it,
I heard my heart say,
My mind shouted one more day,
My body acted with out words,
Tears ran down my cheeks,
I did not think I was week,
As my hand waved you good bye,


Rivers Lesson

Rivers Lesson 
 
I learned my lessons well, 
As I lived in the pain, 
Through life’s little game, 
As river’s flowed from their source, 
From my eyes again, 
Raging torrents flowing free, 
Waterfalls to me feet, 
Unable to stem the flow, 
As my eyes continued to weep, 
Through crimson eyes I viewed your lies, 
To come to terms with your deceit, 
You forced me to my knees, 
Feeling week in defeat, 
The pulse, of the heart of a broken man. 

Words

Words 
 
I have no words to say about today, 
I haven’t spoken but it’s not my voice that is broken, 
Words of truth enraged on how I truly feel, 
Contained within, 
How to express, 
Going through hell, 
Living through the highs, 
Then suffering the lows, 
Knowing that my friends don’t understand, 
What I am going through, 
Words said to get me through, 
Living with a broken heart, 
What do I do now? 
What do I do to get me through? 
Lost all hope, 
Looking for answers,
Alone, 
On my own, 
In the rut I am stuck. 
 
 

Enigmas

Enigmas 

 
Navigating the labyrinth in my mind, 
Seeking to break free, 
Trying to unravel the enigmas that have ensnared me, 
Twist and turns along the way, 
Not the direction that I seek, 
Isolated and alone, 
Feeling very week, 
Patiently unravelling the way I had been, 
Remembering not to travel that way again, 
Setting markers on my path, 
So I don’t get lost again, 
Looking for signs to guide me on my way, 
Hopefully I will be free one day. 

The Valley

The Valley 
 


Walking through the valley of death,  
Analysing my life to see what is left, 
Where to go, 
What to do, 
Who do I want to get to know? 
Living and breathing within reason, 
Writing a story as I go, 
Little pause here, 
Little pause there, 
Watching as I go, 
Memories new along the way, 
Each morning brings a brand new day

Lost

Lost 
 
Lost my focus, 
Lost my mind, 
Not sure of my direction, 
Just wasting time, 
In the rain, 
Trying to control the pain, 
As I slowly rebuild again, 
Up’s and downs,  
Silly frowns, 
Funny life’s little games, 
Feeling like I am going insane. 

Love Songs

Love Songs 💓
 
A thousand love songs could never express how I feel right now, 
The emptiness inside my chest, 
My body caving in as my body compresses, 
Hope and faith keeping me breathing as the day begins, 
Pumping to stay alive, 
  
 
Alone

Autumn

 
I opened my eyes and said goodbye, 
Through the tears and the pain, 
Leaves fell as Autumn came, 
Golden brown tumbling from a high, 
Twisting and turning on the way down, 
Floating to the ground, 
I counted everyone, 
Laying at my feet, 
Ankle deep in a carpet on the ground, 
Naked and bare the trunks stand there, 
Supporting bare branches, 
Part of nature’s course, 
Cold wind blows, 
They stand there waiting until the warm wind returns, 
 
 
The Gateway

The Walk

The Walk 
 
Walking away is hard for me, 
The pain I feel want go away, 
Walking away from the one I love, 
Walking away from you, 
It’s the hardest thing I have had to do, 
You’re in my head, 
In my heart, 
Tormented is my soul, 
Not sure anymore if I can find the right words to say, 
Trying to detach from the one I love, 
Hurts me every day, 
Past is past, 
Yet the memories stay,
Reminding me of what we had, 
What has been thrown away? 
The path is long but I want stray, 
I will stay the course every day, 
Letting go I have to do, 
Letting go of you, 
I can’t stay married in your single life, 
So no longer can you be my wife, 
Friends we will see, 
The children are my priority, 
Not sure what the future has in store, 
Going forward to explore, 
I wish you happiness, 
On your way, 
For what was is in the past is there to stay, 
Not sure if you understand, 
After all I am just a humble man,  
I tried so hard to make you listen, 
However you had already made your decision. X 

Thoughts

Thoughts 
 
Open minded, 
I decline, 
Just don’t like the answers, 
Deep in thought, 
I retort with angry answers, 
Not like me to offend so easily, 
Stepping back that’s my tact, 
To get some clarity, 
Needing time to analyse what is happening to me, 
Questioning why I wanted to die, 
The answer comes so easily, 
Living life with a broken heart is what you have left for me, 
Flying free, 
Free from me that is what you have asked to be, 
To live your life happily, 
Don’t worry about me, 
Going forward is my only way, 
Living day by day, 
Hoping the pain will ebb away, 
Son and a daughter comfort me, 
They are my priority, 
To see them live their lives gives me hope, 
For what will be will be, 
To one day live my life freely.

Warning


Warning please don't eat me,
Self tested,
Just being honest 

A New Dawn


Grrrrrrr


Grrrrrrr, it's one of those days 

Sleep


Please let me sleep,
I don't have to think,

Starting Over



Starting over is the hardest thing to do, 
To except change and pull yourself up,
Dusting down and starting life again,

Labyrinth

 
Listen you can hear the pain echoing within my mind, 
Trying to escape the labyrinth within, 
Trying to smile again, 
A tortured soul, 
Caged within, 
Rainy days I know them well, 
That’s how the story goes, 
Rivers flow as I question why, 
On these dark miserable days, 
Turning left, 
Turning right, 
Going on straight ahead, 
Dead ends there, 
My mind going into despair, 
Searching for a guiding light, 
To guide me from my plight, 
To help me escape this labyrinth, 
Restricting me with my life, 
Silence in my darkness, 
As I struggle to hear a sound, 
Hoping to hear the footsteps, 
Of a lost soul in this maze, 
Hoping that they have found and exit, 
An easier path to follow, 
Hopefully I will find that path, 
Hopefully it will be tomorrow… 
 
 

Distortion

Distortion 

A distortion in time, 
Problem defined, 
A little seed inside of me, 
Growing in my head, 
Fuelling fear to my dread, 
Stress and anxiety start to show, 
Tormented is my soul, 
The vicious circle continues, 
Round and round it goes, 
What is the answer? 
I don’t know, 
Need to get control, 
Of what meant everything to me, 
Feeling sad as one can be. 

Mirror Image

 
Mirror please don’t speak, 
I don’t want to hear the words you would say to me, 
I find it hard to look at my image in the eye, 
Who is this guy? 
Who breaks down and cries, 
Questioning why. 
 
 

Missing

Missing 
 
I look in the mirror, 
What do I see? 
Who is that looking back at me? 
Not recognized the person I see, 
Who was once known to me? 
A blank expression of a face once known, 
Floating in time, 
Fighting for stability and a real reason why, 
Broken hearted betrayed by love, 
The one he trusted the most. 
 
 

Feelings out of Control

 
Way up high, 
Way down low, 
That is the way my feelings go, 
Reaching out trying to hold on, 
Trying to learn to let you go, 
Words of love, 
Words of hate, 
They come out in the debate, 
Crimson eyes I cannot hide, 
As tears gently roll down my face, 
Walking on, 
To remain strong, 
What once was has been and gone,  
Hour by hour, 
Day by day, 
Walking forward in the haze, 
Feeling lost, 
Feeling worthless, 
Trying to find life’s purpose
It is what it is, 
Just have to learn, 
To comes to terms with being alone
Moving forward step by step, 
Learning to start over.
